Everton Thread - 2023/24

While I feel for the ordinary Everton fans.

As far as the owner who were part of the group of wankers who tried everything thing to stop us the phrase “reap what you sow” comes to mind.

Premier League clubs vote in favour of FFP

Premier League clubs have voted in favour of introducing a Financial Fair Play deal and restrictions on wages

Quite interesting to see who actually voted against FFP. in 2013. Mostly smaller clubs of the time

I would think the points deduction is more severe this time…if found guilty.

Hopefully fans and clubs wake up and realise what the FFP rules are really all about…

Most believe what they read or hear in the media whether utter bollock or not.

This charge includes the same year as the last one which we are already being charged with. Surely you cant be punished twice for the same thing?

Chelsea lol.
Does Evertons new ground have any bearing on ffp.
Meanwhile the rags go into a billion pounds debt and are not affected.

Almost like voting for a rolling 3 year period was a stupid thing to do

Well, well, well. It must be Simon's turn to be the grown-up, today.

Not that it matters at all but these would be my rules if twas my choice. (just day dreaming to avoid work)

1. Each club must have to have enough money in the bank to cover any bills for 3 seasons. Prevent financial ruin.
2. Match day ticket costs can not go above a certain ceiling. Protect the match going fan.
3. Ownership must meet national business standards. Prevent anything criminal.
4. All earnings from TV should be shared equally across all teams in a division (not graded). Fairer longterm imo.
5. Owners can spend as much as they want on players. Encourage the rich to invest in the game.
6. No club can pay more than the average transfer of a player + some small % (based on previous 3 years). Slow the endless inflation of transfer fees.
7. Owners can spend as much as they want on the club in general. Encourage better facilities, experience, etc.

Strong statement by us too.
